Title: What is going on at Hawthorne?
Post by: arniesarmy on November 26, 2023, 09:40:56 PM
Long delay after Sunday's first race due to track maintenance. After second race, Galassi announces that Kyle Wilfong has decided not to drive any more tonight. Then Travis Seekman announces he won't be driving after the seventh race. Is the track dangerous?

Race track maintenance is horrible

Drivers  and horses have safety problems

Carey’s  have run down a once beautiful track


It’s unsafe.

Word I'm the grandstands is that the feds are there investigating the paddock judge for bouncing little boys on his lap that's why the drivers are leaving because they have their son's with them

I saw that Hawthorne filed a motion to vacate the remaining harness date for this season and then race only the Thoroughbreds from here on out!(If the hearing has recently taken place,I missed the result)

Went from potholes to dust bowl.  Must be synthetic surface underneath that doesn’t drain. If you put on all that lime you better water the thing. That lime dust worse than cigarette smoke

It's a total shitshow. There were multiple scratches in one race due to three ineligible horses.
In another race, a horse that was claimed in his last start was entered in a conditioned race
and had to be scratched because he was entered with no claiming tag as required by law.
It's also turned into the wild west as drivers who were a under a strict wrist and elbow whipping
rule are now being allowed to go back to one hand whipping with no penalties as track
management has overruled the stewards.

Believe it or not, yes they do.

Tomorrow is December 1 and the weather gets worse as winter goes on.

If you have a little curiosity, they race Sunday and Monday and read the entries and results too. It might have entertainment value and it could be a learning experience too.

The purse money isn’t terrible considering it’s Hawthorne but look at the driving colony and who knows how good the track surface is!!

YOU ARE ON POINT. PEOPLE USED TO ONLY GO TO CAL ALPO ON THEIR WAY OUT AND NOW ITS HAWTHORNE. IF YOU ARE RETIRING, BROKE ASS, OR CANT RACE ANYWHERE ELSE. HAWTHORNE IS YOUR LAST STOP BEFORE YOU PASS AWAY.

Scott was telling everyone that the ghost of Ish Przybyla is haunting the race paddock and Jennifer saw it floating upstairs toward the announcer booth. Creepy stuff  73cv.2
